Ryan Seacrest Recalls ‘Dick Clark’s Rockin’ Eve’ Mishap Where Taylor Swift Ended Up With His Equipment

A midnight mishap! Ryan Seacrest recalled an incident where Taylor Swift accidentally ended up with his hosting communication gear during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2015.“When I was with Taylor Swift one year, it was cold, so I gave her my coat after she’d just performed and I realized all of my communication equipment was attached to it,” the Emmy winner, 48, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, December 29, while promoting the holiday special with cohost Liza Koshy. “So, I couldn’t really communicate with anybody in the production, which I didn’t think about prior.”When the Live With Kelly and Ryan personality began taking off his jacket to offer it to Swift, 33, during the live broadcast, the Midnights musician quipped: “Are you stripping?

This is a family show. This is inappropriate!”The moment with the “Anti-Hero” singer isn’t the only stressful moment that Seacrest has experienced while filming the live special over the years.“I have been stuck in the elevator getting up to the ball before.

That was a little stressful because they tell you to remain calm and it’s almost impossible,” the Georgia native — who cohosted New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Clark from 2005 to 2011 and took over for the cultural icon after his death in 2012 — shared. “There are things that happen along the way that come together in the final seconds. [For example], performers who are not ready, but we try to make things up to say in the interim so that it looks like we’re on schedule.”Seacrest told Us that despite his years of experience, he still feels like he has something to prove every time the annual event rolls around. “I was a kid watching this show, watching other people do the things that I get a chance to do every day.
